Title
Ordinance 23-062, relating to the Growth Management Act, amending Appendix B of the Countywide Planning Policies for Snohomish County to Establish 2044 Initial Housing Growth Targets
body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Stephen Toy
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Ken Klein 6/12/23
PURPOSE: To adopt amendments to Appendix B (Growth Targets) of the Countywide Planning Policies based on the 2044 initial housing growth target recommendation of Snohomish County Tomorrow.
BACKGROUND: The proposal would amend the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) by adding the 2044 initial housing growth targets to Appendix B, joining the 2044 initial population and employment growth target tables previously adopted by the County Council on February 23, 2022 (Ord. 22-003). The 2044 initial housing growth targets were recommended by the Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT) Steering Committee on May 24, 2023 and were developed using the SCT process called for in CPP GF-5. As required by the E2SHB 1220 amendments to the Growth Management Act in 2021, the initial housing targets were based on the existing and projected housing needs for Snohomish County, as provided by the State Department of Commerce, and distributed to jurisdictions based on Commerce guidance and the adopted 2044 initial population targets. Once adopted, jurisdictions in Snohomish County will be required to use the 2044 initial housing growth targets for at least one of the plan alternatives evaluated for their 2024 GMA plan updates.
